The territorial board Of equalization is
liable to get itself into u bad snarl overthe
railroad land question. Should it make a
movement with the idea of lowering the
assessable values fixed by the county COM
missioners it may involve Laramie county
in the most distressing complications. The
various counties have fixed different valu
atoms upon this class OF land, but so far
AS this county is concerned a rate OF fifty
or seventy five per cent. au acre, as fixed
by the county commissioners. cannot pos
sibly work injustice, for if anything, 1t is
lower than 1t should be. The Bay State
Cattle company owns $4,000 acres of
land in this county. Not an acre is in the
market, but the very poorest quality of
the land is held by the company at SO so
an acre. The assessed valuation cannot
therefore be considered too high and
should not be tempered with.

Solitary oonnnemen. Mt 1ouvain.


The rules of the prison are such that
the convicts must replace their hooded
masks as soon as the doors of their cells
open. They cannot expose their faces
ever to their wardens. IF, perchance, a
face is seen by a doctor, 1t is paled by the
long sunless shadow in which it lives and
the want of bracing, blowing air, for
even the daily walk of an hour in the
prison yards is at best only exercise in
cramped passages between two high
walls, partly rooted, shut in by iron
gates, stretching out like the sticks Of a
gigantic fan, and where n few stunted
plants soon wither and die.
The prisoners have that 1accid feshi-
ness which comes from absence of move
ment and stimulating activity; yet in con-
tradiCtiou to the opinion prevailing in
France that no man could stand solitary
confinement for ten years without sue
Cumbing or getting insane, it has been
found not to be the case at Louvain.
Two of the inmates nave dwelt there
since 1864, the date of its foundation, be
ing transferred to the Central house after
q ten years imprisonment at Client.
They had been condemned to death, but
owing to the virtual abolition of the
penalty of death in Belgium, the king
had committed their sentence to the per-
petual entombment of their present
abode. When prisoners have deserved
an alienation of their penalty by ten
years of uninterrupted good conduct,
they are sent to Client, where the rules
of the prison allow of their working in
common.-Boston Commercial Bulletin.

Our little son will be four years of age
on the 25th inst. In May, 1885, he was
attacked with a very painful breaking out
of the skin. We called in a physician
who treated him for about four weeks.
The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out. sup
posed by the physician to be hives in an
aggravated form, became larger in
blotches, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up in
the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called
other physicians, until no less than six
had attempted to cure him, all alike fail
ing, and the child steadily getting worse
and worse, until about the Goth of last
July, when we began to give him Cuticura
Resolvent internally, and the Cuticura
and Cuticura Soap externally, and by the
last Of August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the Resell
vent about every second day for about ten
days longer, and he has never been
troubled since with the horrible malady.
In all we used less than one half OF a bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent. a little less than
one box Of Cutlcura, and only one cake of
Cuticura Soap. H.. +. RYAN,

Something About Bathing.

Bathing is a matter for advice from the
family physician. Modern physiology
says that only exceptionally robust per-
sons can indulge in it daily, and even
her they should be under 30 years of
age. Much precious vitality is wasted in
daily plunge baths that might be saved
by their avoidance. Once a week is quite
sufficient for a full bath in a majority of
cases, tine sponge or wet towel taking its
place at daily morning toilet.-American
Magazine.

A POWERFUL REMEDY.
Why Uncle John Refused to Swallow His
Own Medicine.

Own Medicine.
In the village of O., in Central
New York. lives sharp-tongued old
bachelor whom l have known for
twenty-five years as "Uncle John"
Uncle John is something of character
about town, and not destitute of
Yankee wit and shrewdness. He used
to make and vend in an amateurish
way certain cough mixture, the mer-
its of which he preached to his friends
with great enthusiasm, warranting the
remedy to cure any cold in twenty-four
hours "or no pay" One of his old
friends, whom we will call Ike, being
afflicted with a severe coughing cold,
Uncle John used his best efforts in
argument, persuasion, and finally vehe-
ment and profane scolding, to get him
TO try the remedy. But Ike could not
be induced to "chance it." Not long
after this Uncle John caught hard cold
himself, which was accompanied by a
most distressing cough that sheok his
poor old frame numerically. 1t did
not, however, prevent his coming
down town and settin'," as he
called it, in Ike's market. The cold
hung on for week or more, and the
cough had grown no better. Finally.
one day Ike resolved to brave Uncle
Johns sharp tongue, and tease him a
little about his failure to rid himself of
the cold, and the following dialogue
ensued. You are to understand that
Uncle Johns replies were interrupted
with violent coughing.
"JohnP"

"Got bad cold, amt YEP"
